Hey guys I tried looking up the weight of a 1995 SE w/ 5 Speed Transmission and I am coming up with conflicting answers.

Some report curb weight to be 3,001 - 3010lbs

MY question is do these weight factor in a fully loaded model with a full tank of gas?

My car is fully loaded and with a FULL tank of gas I weighed in at 3100lbs. Does this sound right?

Thanks Guys.

sounds right to me yes.

 

1 gallon of gas = 6.2 lbs. Our tanks = 15.24 gallon tanks

thats 94Lbs, Fully loaded not much changes weight wise as all the wireing is in the car fully loaded or not.

 

OUR TANK IS 18.5 GALLONS NOT 15.24!!!!

 

Are you retarded?

 

Maybe you should do some reading on maximas. No need to ***** the thread to get your post count up.

Our tanks are 18.5 gallons.

Back on topic:

As for the weight of the cars It will vary depending on the model and features. I would say 3000-3200

 

My tank out of my car full is 15.24 gallons =)

 

Where was it measured? Many scales round up and little bit and aren't calibrated too precisely - just enough to keep truckers from carrying illegal loads.

take the extra 3 liquid gallons worth of yeyo out of it and learn to make friends.

 

The local weigh station. This scale seemed to to be pretty precise at least within a pound or two. I weighed the car with me in it and weight was at 3260lbs, then got out the car and weight went to 3100lbs. Weighed my self at home and sure enough 160lbs.

The more that I think about it, I am sure that the 3010 Figures are dry figures with no liquids in the car.

Lol, Thats after it was completly cleaned (kids poured sugar into my tank and we droped it out to clean it out completly. The Tank is OEM and only holds 15.24 gallons of liquid.

remember there is also, Oil, Coolant, Trans Fluid, Windshield washer fluid,

 

I've put more than 17.5 gallons of gas in my tank on numerous occasionas. Your tank isn't 15.24 gallons unless you got the custom miniature gas tank special edition maxima... The tank is 18.5 gallons per the FSM, Haynes, Chiltons, and the owners manual.

Anyways to the topic at hand. My stock 95 beater 5spd GXE is 2970lbs with a full 18.5 gallons of gas and other fluids in it. Completely stock in every way. My 96 was 2880 with very little gas in it, and some things that reduce the weight of the car a bit like an aftermarket Y pipe, test pipe, aftermarket suspension and lighter wheels. Both of these weights are without me in the car.

 

I have a 95SE, 5-speed, fully loaded.

It came with a sunroof and leather interior, which adds weight.

I always understood curb weight to include a full tank of gas and all the fluids.

My vehicle registration lists my car's "net weight" at 1,481 kilograms, which equates to 3,265 pounds. I am not sure what "net weight" means.

I googled the specs for a 95 Maxima SE, 5-speed, and one source stated 3,010 lbs. Car and Driver states 3,000 - 3,100 lbs. I believe the automatic transmission is about 100 lbs. heavier than the 5-speed.

I also googled for a definition of curb weight which is:

"the weight of an empty vehicle, including maximum amounts of fuel, oil, coolant and standard equipment."

I understand that would include the owner's manual, spare tire and tire jack, etc.

 

How many gallons of fuel does the A32 Maxima hold again.

 

Then I'd drop it and clean it again, because there's still 3.26 gallons of sugar in there somewhere. The tank holds 18.5 gallons, period. But I'm sure you know that by now.
